Hawaiian-Style Beef Stew
Hawaiian-Style Beef Stew features deeply seared beef simmered in a soy- and Worcestershire-laced tomato base that builds rich umami and a glossy finish. Vegetables are added later so the carrots, celery, and potatoes keep their shape while the broth reduces to a hearty, saucy consistency. Serve ladled over rice for a comforting, island-inspired dinner with savory depth.

Place the beef on a cutting board and cut it into uniform 1 1/2-inch pieces. Season the beef directly on the cutting board; sprinkle with salt and 2 tablespoons flour, and toss until thoroughly and evenly coated.

Add vegetable oil to a heavy-bottomed stew pot and set it over high heat. Working in 2 or 3 batches so the beef is in a single, uncrowded layer, brown the pieces deeply on at least 2 sides; transfer them to a bowl and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium-high if the beef is browning too quickly or the pan seems too hot.

Remove the last batch of browned beef to the bowl, reduce the heat to medium-high, and add the onions. Cook, stirring, for a few minutes until they just start to turn translucent. Add the tomato paste, then cook and stir until the tomato paste begins to brown on the edges of the onion, about 4 minutes.

Sprinkle in the remaining 2 tablespoons flour and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and beef broth, and stir to combine. Add Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce, and bring the stew to a boil, stirring occasionally.

Return the browned beef pieces and all accumulated juices to the pot and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low. Cover tightly and simmer gently for 1 hour.
- 6
Uncover and stir in black pepper, cayenne, carrots, celery, and potatoes. Cover again and simmer on low for 1 hour.
- 7
Remove the lid and simmer uncovered until the sauce reduces slightly and thickens, and the meat is very tender, about 1 hour more. Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed. Serve with rice.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
